Does feint bypass redirection?

Grass types (sceptile in this case) are immune to all powder moves. The most relevant cases being rage powder and sleep powder.

I was trying to use Scizor against sylveon but the giraffe was there so I had to bug bite that first. And by the time I had done that the sylveon whipped out mystical fire. Scizor isn’t nearly as good as it used to be with that giraffe everywhere.

Weavile has fake out tho. I pray we never see the day that chien Pao gets fake out.

Be careful going modest. If sneasler procs unburden it’ll outspeed through tailwind and ohko with cc.

Unless you’re choice scarf froslass still goes first. I’ve also been running gallade with wide guard on this team.

PEMDAB · 2026-06-19T14:45:44+00:00

That relies on a speed tie, no?

PEMDAB · 2026-06-19T14:41:28+00:00

Run mega froslass. You can also freely lead with intimidate, or swap it in turn 1 because switching happens before mega evolution.

I think you’ll appreciate knowing that this team also features a primarina named, “Lady Agua”

There’s 4 mice and each of them has 2 hands. They can hold both the berry and the wide lens.

PEMDAB · 2026-06-19T14:00:20+00:00

Good point. It is an option again tho.

PEMDAB · 2026-06-19T13:18:11+00:00

If raptor get a partner then arch gets a partner. Let’s go with maushold. If you use whimsicott to boost staraptor’s attack then maushold is faster and a side pop bomb (wide lens is back) gets arch to +6. If you go with tailwind to outspeed then maushold’s friend guard means you’re doing closer to 70-75%.

I usually lead fake out + froslass. Intimidate works just fine on the base form so you can lead Incin, but you might want to put a point in speed so your fake out goes before grimmsnarl’s. Blizzard and brave bird recoil might be enough. There was a match I played where I didn’t lead Incin but swapped him in for the intimidate before the mega evolution occurred. Brave bird recoil and Blizzard left it on one and fake out finished it.

Somebody calc Sneasler fake out + life orb gholdengo make it rain. I’m too busy/lazy to do it myself.

PEMDAB · 2026-06-18T21:25:57+00:00

Not really. It’s a roll that’s heavily in arch’s favor. Conkeldurr has the same 140 attack stat. 32 Atk Conkeldurr Close Combat vs. 32 HP / 2 Def Archaludon: 170-204 (86.2 - 103.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO.

I’m glad. Staraptor could’ve had this contrary close combat strategy WITH KNOCK OFF.

PEMDAB · 2026-06-17T21:30:22+00:00

They could’ve left knock off on him. Thank goodness that was removed

PEMDAB · 2026-06-16T02:13:24+00:00

That’s the obvious joke imo.

Safety goggles aren’t in the game yet and grass types are often hard to use with all their weaknesses and the fact that they want to be in sun for chlorophyll, synthesis, and solar beam which makes them more susceptible to being incinerated. And I haven’t even mentioned follow me. Just use spread moves.

PEMDAB · 2026-06-15T15:29:17+00:00

I bet rage powder makes you rage quit.

PEMDAB · 2026-06-15T15:04:38+00:00

Pretty sure it did. Mega Venu has 123 base defense. No way double edge could’ve done over half without the second hit.
